❗ A Red Heat Health Alert has been issued for the East of England.

Severe impacts are expected across health and social care services due to the high temperatures, including:
• increased risk to life across the whole population, with significant impacts on older people
• significantly increased demand on all health and social care services
• the heat affecting the ability of the workforce to deliver services
• hot indoor environments making provision of care challenging and national critical infrastructure failures, such as generators and power outages
• water-related incidents may increase, including risks from cold-water shock and drowning

Earlier waste collection start times – week beginning Monday 22 June

Due to the extreme weather forecast, our waste collection crews will begin work earlier than usual, starting from 6am each day this week. This change applies to all areas of Castle Point and will help our teams work during the cooler part of the day, reducing the risk of heat exhaustion. We kindly ask all residents to please put their waste out the evening before, or by 6am on the day of collection, for this week only.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.
